Giraff is a telepresence robot that relatives, home care and healthcare staff can use to virtually visit individuals that are still living at home despite their regular care needs. With Giraff you are using a secure network and are visiting from a distance. You can move around in their home freely and can interact with the Giraff user through its video system. The one that you are visiting can easily accept or decline a call, without any prerequisites. The one visiting through the Giraff only needs a computer with internet connection and basic computer skills. With Giraff you free up time from costly oversight visits, reducing travel time for healthcare staff and providing a feeling of security for patients and relatives.

Time

The Giraff creates more time for healthcare staff to visit patients. A large proportion of their time is spent on traveling between patients instead of the actual visits. By doing check ups using the Giraff instead, you can save time that can be better spent where it is needed. It will also be possible to offer closer care than we do today.

Independence

Getting regular visits by a familiar face or close relatives creates a calm feeling and social security for the person that is living alone. With the Giraffs big screen and mobile abilities, you can experience the presence of each other in a very real way. Together, you can move around in the home and experience each others presence. With the Giraff, the individual is given a better sense of independence.

Continuity

For healthcare staff, it is safer to be able to look after their patients in short intervals without first having to travel outside in traffic. For those who choose to stay at home despite the need for care, it is comforting for them to know that they can have regular visits and that the staff and relatives can visit on a regular basis, regardless of long distances.

Security

With Giraff you are using a secure network and are visiting from a distance. The one that you are visiting can easily accept or decline a call, without any prerequisites.

Safety

If a caregiver wants or needs to check up on a patient even if they are unable to respond actively, special authorization can be given to individuals so that they are able to call without having to wait for the patient to respond. For example, this can be used for night time care or to quickly determine what form of assistance is needed in case of an emergency alarm.Simplicity

The Giraff consists of a height-adjustable video screen on a long, narrow neck, and the bottom is equipped with a small computer. The robot moves around on resilient wheels, can move over rugs and thresholds and is easy to maneuver from a computer with a decent internet connection.
